The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 15 June, 2021 at approximately 1630 pm CST, N6088K, serial number 501B-0281, after refueling and reloading with fertilizer near Beech Grove, Arkansas (latitude: 36° 9'53.5"n, longitude: 90°38'46.3"w), was conducting the aerial application of fertilizer on a corn field approximately six (6) miles south-west (latitude: 36° 6'26.69"n, longitude: 90°43'21.51"w) of the departure point. Sometime shortly thereafter, a witness on the ground (latitude: 36° 6'4.75"n, longitude: 90°42'55.90"w) observed the aircraft flying in a south easterly direction when it inexplicably crashed into the ground (latitude: 36° 6'18.64"n, longitude: 90°42'54.37"w). The aircraft impacted the ground at a relatively high angle of attack with wreckage contained almost entirely within the footprint of the aircraft, with a post-crash fire consuming the forward approximately 80 percent of the aircraft.
